If you were unfortunate enuf to have executed Happ99.exe, it is quite simple to exterminate it. Just go to http://members.tripod.com/docsmiley/happy99.htm and follow the instructions. The Happy.exe "worm" plays a little with your WIndows Sockets file but is dumb enough to leave you with a backup, which is easily retored.
